Episode 176 The Dream Show: Escape from drowning

Marjeta is my guest today, as we interpret her dream of escaping from drowning, relate it to her waking life situation, and find new insight to illuminate her journey.

In her dream, Marjeta finds herself up to her neck in rising water, trapped below a concrete ceiling, moments away from drowning. She escapes from the water only to be chased by two women, and then, when she momentarily finds herself free, her heavy legs drag her down until she is caught. What does this dream mean?

Marjeta is the first of our listeners to put her hand up to trial a new format, so I’m really interested to hear your thoughts on this episode.

What does Marjeta’s dream of escaping from drowning mean?

I put the call out during episode 175, inviting people to email a dream for us to delve into on the show. As you know, if you’re a long time listener, being a guest on the show in our usual format involves us phoning or skyping the guest, and recording our conversation. I make a point of not wanting to know anything about the dream before we start recording, so that you, our listeners, are in the whole process with us, from hearing the dream for the first time with me, to discussing, exploring, and interpreting the dream.

The new format email approach opens more possibilities, especially for guests whose time zones or work commitments make recording a show challenging, and for guests whose first language is not English.

It was appealing for Marjeta, who lives and works in Slovenia, and whose first language is Slovene. We emailed back and forth, and I describe the process in today’s show. You’ll hear the dream, the questions I asked Marjeta, her replies, my interpretation, and her response to the interpretation.
